The Tabernacle Set Up
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
The Tabernacle Completed
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
Then bring in the table, and arrange the utensils on it. And bring in the lampstand, and set up the lamps.
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
“Place the gold incense altar in front of the Ark of the Covenant. Then hang the curtain at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the Tabernacle entrance.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
Then set up the courtyard around the outside of the tent, and hang the curtain for the courtyard entrance.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
“Take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all its furnishings to consecrate them and make them holy.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them. Then the altar will become absolutely holy.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
Next anoint the washbasin and its stand to consecrate them.
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
“Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and wash them with water.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Dress Aaron with the sacred garments and anoint him, consecrating him to serve me as a priest.
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics.
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Anoint them as you did their father, so they may also serve me as priests. With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Moses proceeded to do everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
So the Tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
Moses erected the Tabernacle by setting down its bases, inserting the frames, attaching the crossbars, and setting up the posts.
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Then he spread the coverings over the Tabernacle framework and put on the protective layers, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Then he brought the Ark of the Covenant into the Tabernacle and hung the inner curtain to shield it from view, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
Next Moses placed the table in the Tabernacle, along the north side of the Holy Place, just outside the inner curtain.
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And he arranged the Bread of the Presence on the table before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
He set the lampstand in the Tabernacle across from the table on the south side of the Holy Place.
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Then he lit the lamps in the LORD’s presence, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
He also placed the gold incense altar in the Tabernacle, in the Holy Place in front of the inner curtain.
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
On it he burned the fragrant incense, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
He hung the curtain at the entrance of the Tabernacle,
And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
and he placed the altar of burnt offering near the Tabernacle entrance. On it he offered a burnt offering and a grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
Next Moses placed the washbasin between the Tabernacle and the altar. He filled it with water so the priests could wash themselves.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
Moses and Aaron and Aaron’s sons used water from it to wash their hands and feet.
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Whenever they approached the altar and entered the Tabernacle, they washed themselves, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
Then he hung the curtains forming the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar. And he set up the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard. So at last Moses finished the work.
The Glory of the Lord
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
The LORD’s Glory Fills the Tabernacle
Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.
